The world of Deadlands™ looks like the Old West on the surface - there's plenty of wild desperadoes and heroes with more sand than the Mojave Desert - but there's more, too. Out here the shadows are a little bit darker. The hangin' trees are a little bit taller. And the High Plains are coated in the crimson light of the blood moon. That howl you heard might be a lone wolf looking for its cub. Or it might be a werewolf hunting for meat.

So come on in, but tread carefully. This spaghetti western comes with meat…

Inside this first volume of the Anthology with No Name, you'll find eleven twisted tales of the Old West by some of the top names in adventure fiction. We've rustled up best-selling Star Wars® author Mike Stackpole, Desperadoes author Jeff Marriotte, and even the creators of Deadlands themselves!

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
